RSV1000R vs. Japanese 600's - At A Cross-Roads

[steve p]

With CCS I was going to run Heavyweight Twins SuperSport and Superbike. I believe it can also be run in Unlimited classes as well.

I haven't done my homework with WERA yet. So I don't know what classes they allow it in.

You haven't done your homework in CCS either. There is only one class in Heavy weight twins.

CCS you can run Heavy weight twins, Heavy weight superbike, Heavy weight super sport, GTO, Unlimited GP, and Unlimited Super Sport.

WERA is slightly different in their naming of classes.

Will you be racing with WERA or CCS? Makes a difference in the name of the classes you can run.

My bad. I'm looking at WERA races.

You Can run a lot of classes in Wera on the Ape:
A SUPERSTOCK EXPERT & NOVICE and A SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE
B SUPERSTOCK EXPERT & NOVICE and B SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE
C SUPERSTOCK EXPERT & NOVICE and C SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE (Call your Bike Tuono and your in)
HEAVYWEIGHT TWINS SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE and HEAVYWEIGHT TWINS SUPERSTOCK EXPERT & NOVICE
FORMULA 1 EXPERT & NOVICE
HEAVYWEIGHT SENIOR SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE (If your 40 and Over)
MEDIUMWEIGHT SENIOR SUPERBIKE EXPERT & NOVICE (If your 40 and Over)

In CCS its a little difference mainly you can't run with the 600s. Here's the line up though.

HEAVYWEIGHT SUPERSPORT and HEAVYWEIGHT SUPERBIKE
UNLIMITED SUPERSPORT and UNLIMITED SUPERBIKE
UNLIMITED GRAND PRIX
GTO

Too bad you are not in CMRA they just got some new classes and the 04 RSV is dominating them.
Hell Ted and the boys picked up another one after retiring the old RSV a couple years ago.

I think they call them Modern Classics Class.

So he is racing the 999's and the 749's.

F
Supertwins! Best sounding class by far. Excited that another RSV is gonna be on the grid!

It's not an Aprilia, but i've had my 00 TLR for 12 years, street, CMRA race, and track days here in Texas.It's been raced in A and B Superbike, Heavyweight Twins, Formula somethingorother, and is now eligable for Vintage lol i have also endurance raced a ZX-6 with a couple friends on the same weekend I sprint the mighty TLR . The upside to a old heavy twin is having 2 gears to choose from most of the time, that torque is awesome to have, miss a shift on a 600 and you are screwed lol Gotta keep that ZX6 above 11000 all the time. Wrestling a big heavy bike means you need to be in shape, use the bikes strengths and you can be a competitive club racer on one even now. But it def takes more work. But technology def marches on... the new 600's are more nimble than our twins can hope for and the 1098-1198 ducs kill us on the straights, but it still comes down to the rider..., I've left many a newer bike behind me. Make no mistake-i don't podium anymore but if i can manage respectable times on the tiller... , if you choose your priller you may just enjoy being a bit different from the rest, and anyone you beat-shame on them !
